      Short thread about the silver futures basis. Below is a plot of the Mar/May futures basis converted into annual premium terms. The only difference between Mar and May futures is when you would take delivery, i.e. this basis tracks the difference between receiving physical silverpic.twitter.com/xamMzR3WEN

      in March and holding till May, vs receiving physical in May. Normally it tracks (the negative of) interest rates, since the only difference between a position in physical vs. forward is that the physical needs to be financed, at roughly the short-term risk free rate.

      Today it has blown out, hitting 10% at peak and currently sitting at ~5% which is about ~6% above the theoretical value of -1%. What does that mean? It means the market places a big premium on owning physical silver between Mar and May, rather than a forward with essentially the

          it shows that the market thinks that the price of $SLV will be pushed up relative to fundamentals, and the futures basis is telling you about the expected profit from depositing physical silver into $SLV and receiving shares (which you then sell, pocketing the premium as profit)
